Finally on 13 Jan 2010, the European Chemicals Agency has added 14 chemical substances instead of 15 SVHC’s. Previously, per DEC 2009, the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) also showed Acrylamide (EC No 201-173-7 and CAS No 79-06-1) as being identified as a Substance of Very High Concern by ECHA’s Member State Committee. However, pursuant to an Order of the President of the General Court of the European Union, the inclusion of acrylamide in the Candidate List of substances for eventual inclusion in Annex XIV of REACH is suspended. The total SVHCs candidate for the moment is 29 substances.
Note that all 29 Candidate SVHC’s are mentioned in our ProductIP expert database as being relevant.
